‘Tillerson-ed’ is the perfect dating slang for these chaotic end times

It’s 2018 and “ghosting” someone you were in a relationship with? That’s so last year.

Now it’s all about Tillerson-ing people. The term, which is admittedly a real mouthful, was coined Tuesday in the wake of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson learning he was out of a job via Donald Trump’s tweets. The good folks on Twitter have turned his misfortune into a verb that perfectly describes so many of our dating woes.

People have been sharing stories of the time they ended a relationship via social media or uh, non-traditional means.

CONFESSION: I once Tillerson-ed an ex by breaking up with him via changing my relationship status to “Single” on Facebook.

I got Tillersoned sophomore year of high school. She changed her status to single but also got into a public relationship with someone else before I even made it back from debate practice lmao https://t.co/oDzfkBN3lJ
